- 1994 XLT Explorer 4x4
I have a 94 XLT Explorer 4x4 that is not shifting from 1st to 2nd without me lifting off the gas. It wont shift at all when its cold. When this problem started about 3 months ago i could start the truck cold and it wouldn't shift til it warmed up and after that it would shift the rest of the day with no problem. At this point i change the fluid and filter and checked the pan for metal but didnt find any. Then I started letting the truck warm up for 15 minutes every morning and i didnt have no problems at all. One day on the way from work i got on the gas hard to pass a car and it down shifted and wouldnt shift back up until i got down to about 3000 rpms. Since then it wont shift from 1st to 2nd until i drive it about 1/2 mile first thing every morning regardless if i let it warm up or not. I have to stop at a stop sign about a 1/4 mile from the house and when i take off it feels like it slips just a little bit. It only slips at that point some mornings not all. The rest of the gears shift fine. Ive read quite a bit on this forum and see it is a common problem. Ive check the modulator valve vacuum line for fluid and its dry. So i decided to check the intermediate band. I put the truck in neutral and tried to turn the drive shaft but couldnt so i loosen the band adjuster and still could not get the drive shaft to turn neither way. I checked to make sure the shifter was working right and that it weren't between gears. Im lost at this point. I figured id post and see if anyone could help. I About forgot sometimes i leave work at lunch and it will shift right 1 time but not all the time.
